So, my crazy brain went on a side quest and realized there are not 52 weeks in a year. There are 52.14285714285714. Leap years are 52.28571428571429. Hello from my weird brain It doesn’t deal in integers

This is why the calendar would have been much better suited to 13 four week months! You still end up with that trailing digit stuff after the decimal, but at least the months would all be the same length. It would make calendar printing so much easier if the first of every month was the same day of the week for a year!! One month would have one (or 2 in a leap year) extra day(s).
PS. I always found it fascinating than not all century marks are leap years… In the days before computers and incredibly accurate timepieces how the f*** did they figure that out?

Also, I’m 54 so that means there are eight weeks that either do or do not exist
Did I mention my weird brain
